A charge nurse is providing teaching to a nursing team member about the competencies required for interprofessional collaboration.
Which of the following statements by the nursing team member indicates an understanding?

Choice A rationale:

The novice-to-expert model for nursing competence includes several stages, and the "novice" stage represents a beginner who has limited experience and lacks clinical support. This stage typically involves individuals who are just starting their nursing careers and are in the early phases of learning.

Choice B rationale:

An "advanced beginner" is the next stage in the novice-to-expert model. This stage is characterized by individuals who have gained some experience and can perform tasks with increased competence. However, they still require clinical support and guidance in certain situations. It's a transitional phase between complete novice and more proficient levels of competence.

Choice C rationale:

The "proficient" stage in the model represents nurses who have acquired a higher level of competence and are capable of handling a wide range of situations. They do not require the same level of clinical support as those in the advanced beginner stage.

Choice D rationale:

The "competent" stage represents nurses who have reached a high level of competence and can function effectively in most situations without continuous clinical support. They are highly skilled and experienced in their practice.

Choice A rationale:

TJC (The Joint Commission) does not provide licensure for healthcare providers. Licensing is typically issued by state regulatory bodies, and it ensures that healthcare professionals meet the minimum qualifications and standards to practice within their respective states. TJC's role is different from providing licensure.

Choice B rationale:

TJC is primarily responsible for accrediting healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics, to ensure that they meet specific quality and safety standards. Accreditation by TJC is a mark of quality and demonstrates that the facility complies with nationally recognized healthcare standards.

Choice C rationale:

TJC is not a for-profit organization. It is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare quality and safety. It does not seek to generate profits but rather focuses on enhancing the quality of care provided to patients.

Choice D rationale:

TJC is not an organization that monitors insurance claims. Monitoring insurance claims is typically the responsibility of insurance companies and regulatory agencies. TJC's primary role is to assess and accredit healthcare facilities to promote patient safety and quality care.
